The space was great! Bathrooms are clean and not too many bugs! Its a bit of a walk to the lake but so worth it :)

Great camping spot with privacy
It is a lovely camping spot. Then area is very private and the dock is tucked into a quiet bay that is great for swimming. There are three "levels" of camping areas -- at the top of the hill for RVs, halfway down is a secluded, flat tent area and there is a small tent pad at the shoreline right at the dock. The hill down to the lake is a bit steep but worth the climb. The outhouses are well-built, spotlessly clean and odour-free. There are fire pits at the top and at the lake and lots of dry, split wood is provided. The hosts were excellent, communication was quick, clear and welcoming. Our group will definitely book the site again next year.

Victoria Day weekend - success
What a tremendous weekend stay. I was looking for a small lake tenting weekend with some walks with my dog Frankie and got that in spades. The property is huge with 3 distinct areas to camp. The entrance offers a huge area for RVs. Once you hit the trail on the site a second spot is available in what feels like the deep woods. However the highlight spot to stay was the lakefront. Literally tenting feet from a pristine lake which features a supporting cast of beavers, a crane and beautiful loon. If no frills means beautiful nature, wildlife and peacefulness, this spot is no frills. I’ll be back for sure.
Oh, I can’t forget Sandra. Sandra is a star in the background. Thank you Sandra for the 5 star level communication and directions.

Great camping experience!
Sandra's campsite was great! There are 3 sections on this camp to pick from. First section is closest to the road and is on gravel. There is picnic table and a fire pit drum perfect for cooking with a grill provided. There is also a very clean port house on this site. We moved our cooking/fire pit area here the second day as there was rain and we were able to set up a large rain tarp by the fire. Second site is 5-6 minute walk into the forest. This walk has a bit of an up hill. Second site is smaller than the first and was able to fit 2 three person tents. A third tent could have fit as well. This site was pretty cool because its surrounded by dense forest and had another clean port house. Third site is by the water with small tent pad, a stone firepit with grill, picnic table, and 4 plastic Muskoka chairs. Beautiful spot as well with a campfire by the water. The only issue with this site is the walk back up to the second site could be hard for others, and if there is no wood, it is difficult to get the provided wood from the first site. There is a longer path going back to the second site but has a gradual incline, second path is a very steep incline but much shorter. Water was really clear and deep from the dock, would definitely return here for a swim. Overall great experience. Our only comments for cons would be there are powerlines above the water access, steep walk down to the water, and there was dog poop camouflaged in the fallen leaves. Please pick up after dogs.

Well Worth the Stay
A nice waterfront site with a gorgeous dock. The majority of the location is on a steep hill, so if you arrive, be ready to do the 5-minute walk to the waterfront down a steep hill. No neighbours were around besides the beaver that patrolled the lake and the cottages across the lake. Thank you for the lovely stay.
